99+ While X11 (see <xref linkend="sec-x11"/>) is still the primary display
1010+ technology on NixOS, Wayland support is steadily improving.
1111+ Where X11 separates the X Server and the window manager, on Wayland those
1212+ are combined: a Wayland Compositor is like an X11 window manager, but also
1313+ embeds the Wayland 'Server' functionality. This means it is sufficient to
1414+ install a Wayland Compositor such as <package>sway</package> without
1515+ separately enabling a Wayland server:
1616+<programlisting>
1717+<xref linkend="opt-programs.sway.enable"/> = true;
1818+</programlisting>
1919+ This installs the <package>sway</package> compositor along with some
2020+ essential utilities. Now you can start <package>sway</package> from the TTY
2121+ console.
